Subject: pnpacpi: reduce printk severity for "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of ..."
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24.5~9
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9a3ef655c451a9dd1b4df795f6eac253eed6af0;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

pnpacpi: reduce printk severity for "pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of ..."

upstream commit 33fd7afd66ffdc6addf1b085fe6403b6af532f8e

We have been printing these messages at KERN_ERR since 2.6.24,
per http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535

But KERN_ERR pops up on a console booted with "quiet"
and causes users to get alarmed and file bugs
about the message itself:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436589

So reduce the severity of these messages to
KERN_WARNING, which is not printed by "quiet".

This message will still be seen without "quiet",
but a lot of messages are printed in that mode
and it will be less likely to cause undue alarm.

We could go all the way to KERN_DEBUG, but this
is a real warning after all, so it seems prudent
not to require "debug" to see it.
